Who Are You Following Today Christian?

There is an encouraging word from discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer:

(Taking up) "The only constant factor throughout is the sameness of Christ and of his call then and now. His Word is one and the same, whether it was addressed during his earthly life to the paralysed or the disciples, or whether it is speaking to us today. Here as there we receive the gracious summons to enter his kingdom and his glory. ... All we have to do is to hear the word and obey the will of Christ, in whatever part of the scripture testimony it is proclaimed. The Scriptures do not present us with a series of Christian types to be imitated according to choice: they preach to us in every situation the one Jesus Christ." (p 228; Cost of Discipleship)
